    Couldn't tell if that was blue on blue too close, or they're just firing into the dirt in front of them.

    There's a target right there. Not sure why they got so close and didn't shoot at it before, but I don't have the whole video to armchair general it to death.

    They're lucky no one got hit by a ricochet or bits of rock shrapnel.

    Check out REI, they are having big sales, they have the ASOLO fugitive GTX at 255. Nice boots, you'll need to brake in them but they are great, Lowa, Scarpa, La Sportiva, Montrail, Vasque, Merrel, Salomon, even TNF, have great books. check this link out

    Go big or go home. Spend the bigger bucks on the shoes, they will be worth your while. Not sure exactly which TPS they are, but they will all be good.

    Somewhere I have seen some pics of the IDF using RPG-7's... and having added some sort of insulation foam to make padding for the sling - can anyone post me those photos as I can't for the life of me remember where I saw them...

    Every time I see a 624 antenna folded, I can see their kashrag crying. The fold cuts the range in more than half and breaks the antenna so even if you re-extend it, you will never get the original range again (which is why they're issuing new antennas that can bend). What's even worse is that their amlachiyah made shiftzurim to break their antennas...
